Hi!
I don't know if this will help, but I've experienced similar problems with framemaker 6.

When doing fresh installs of FM6+sgml, sometimes the program would not run and give me the error "Fatal Error 00000001 occurred while initializing FrameMaker. module: core".

After trying every trick I could come up with, I found a reference to it in the Adobe knowledge base (document 319602). Although related to a previous version, I investigated the temp variables on the computers.

I ran "SET" from the command prompt to see the actual paths of the directories.
The working systems had paths with short filenames looking like :
"TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\TEMP"
The non-working systems had paths with long filenames like:
"TEMP=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp"

I tried a quick fix changing the paths to "c:\temp" and it worked!

FM doesn't seem to like long filenames in the temp path!

This was tested with FM6.0+SGML on W2K(both english and swedish). I don't know if it's the same problem you have, and don't know if it will work on FM7, but I think it's worth a shot.

BTW, the temp variables are set under control panel/system/advanced tab/enviroment variables

best regards
